Allergy season here in beautiful New England! Along with that comes..... allergies! Not matter how many times I tell the parents here, they still don't get it! GIVE YOUR KID THEIR MEDS BEFORE SCHOOL!!!!! No i do not have medicine here for them, no i dont have eyedrops, no i can not just give them some benadryl. This would be YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!!!!! If you know they need these thingss, then GIVE THEM TO THEM......... GEEEEZZZZZZ! better now, thanks

Or then you get the ones like I had yesterday where the parents gave the kid a benedryl in the morning just prior to the big state test. Um, yeah. Great idea. Poor kid could barely keep her eyes open. They sent ANOTHER pill with her for her to take at lunch, which I confiscated. Politely told the parents that they might want to talk to their doctor about a non-drowsy option for school days.

If I had a dollar for every student who brought me a bag of meds, unlabeled with not even a parent note this time of year OR yelled at me for not providing their child medicine.....wow, I would be rich!
